Episode three of my podcast features an interview with a teenager who ordered MK-801 and tested it on ...
Upcoming podcasts
Hi, all. When I started this account I saw it primarily as a way to raise money for chemistry experiments I was doing with Jason Wallach. I was not seriously interested in starting a podcast as I've always been focused on the documentary series and various writing projects, but I've been enc...

Zectran advertisement

PODCAST 1: Interview with a man who sold LSD to Steve Jobs
I don't usually interview people involved with the distribution side of psychedelics, but this conversation touches on so many fascinating topics in the history of LSD that I thought other people might find it interesting. The conversation covers Steve Jobs, Kary Mullis, ergotamine tartrate, LSD...

Extracting Voacanga africana root bark with aqueous HCl
Hi all, production for the third season of my show has dramatically slowed due to COVID-19 and I'm editing in isolation. Although none of this footage is even close to being finished, I thought I'd post a few videos of what I've been working on. It's missing voice over, color correct...
